Don't want to criticise Curtis... 03:52 - Dec 30 with 2950 views | deanscfc | but there seems to be a lack of acceptance at the club that we are missing quality in the team these days: http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38457191 (the video) I mean it's great that he and others have faith in their players as coaches but if the message back to Huw and the Americans from coaches is that the squad is strong enough then naturally they're not going to be as active in the transfer window as they might have been. I think anyone can see that we lack quality in our side by now, particularly in defence. Seems to me that we've been lacking a strong manager who could come in and shake things up, ...identifying players quickly who aren't pulling their weight/aren't up to it and demanding assistance from the board in terms of transfers. Guidolin was a good guy and very experienced but acted as a coach rather than manager and Bob Bradley was just not up to speed at this level. I don't really see why our next manager needs to be British either? Is that just for the sake of getting someone in quickly? All i care about is that they are experienced in a top league, take no nonsense and maybe most importantly have good contacts (and leverage) for January recruitment. [Post edited 30 Dec 2016 3:58]

Don't want to criticise Curtis... on 09:21 - Dec 30 with 2544 views | 3swan | I took his words as. We need strengthening and no individual looks able to step up and be a true leader. As far as a British manager he did say ideally, again my take was we need a manager that will be up and running from day one. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

If only we had been so understanding with Boob. | ![](/images/avatars/16166.gif) |
